Parents and Families Association Events and Meetings

The Adelphi University Parents and Families Association Board encourages you to attend meetings and events to meet other Adelphi parents and stay informed about resources and programs that support Adelphi students.

Perhaps you met one of the Parents and Families Association Board members at this past summer’s Parent/Family Orientation sessions, or on Move-In Day. We hope to see you at one of these upcoming events to continue our association.

As a parent or family member of a current Adelphi student, you are automatically a member of the Parents and Families Association. The Parents and Families Association is your advocate, and it gives you an opportunity to play an active and supporting role in your student’s college experience.

Be on the lookout for messages this year from the Parents and Families Association about opportunities to attend fun and informational programs and to get more involved. If you would like to play an active part in the Parents and Families Association, please email parents@adelphi.edu.
